Pokémon ORAS - Global Link Details
Following the maintenance that took place today for Pokémon X, Y, Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, some changes were made to the Global Link system. Firstly, following the change on April 3rd after emergency maintenance caused by a glitch involving nicknamed Pokémon resulting in nicknames having to be shown in order to resolve it, the Battle Spot has reverted back to no longer showing Pokémon's nicknames for opponents in battle.
In addition to that, they have stated that they have improved the hack check system and that if a player is detected to have hacked Pokémon while connected to the Battle Spot, they will be disconnected. This disconnection will not result in an alteration in the other player's rating or win/loss record. Standard disconnections will still result in a change of rating and record, even if it was due to unstable internet.
